Quartets will need to provide their own badge holders and lanyards. 4" x 3" for a horizontal (landscape) badge
QUESTIONS? If you have any questions before proceeding, contact the Convention Team at SAIR13Convention@gmail.com.

Step 2 of 4: Are your songs ready?
SONG ASSESSMENT TOOL: Prior to performance, all competitors are required to receive an “Admissible” rating through the Song Assessment Tool for all songs they intend to perform. Any song performed in contest that is found to have NOT received an “Admissible” rating will result in the performance being immediately stopped and the performer being disqualified.
COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE: Sweet Adelines International requires that only copyright-cleared music be sung at regional competitions. If you have a medley of songs, you must include the information about each song, no matter how short the excerpt. Do not presume any song is in the public domain or that your parody is okay; check to be certain. Please read this Copyright Matters document from SAI. In our high-tech, online world it is best to ask permission before using altered material or posting anything. If you have additional copyright questions, contact music@sweetadelines.com.
